We’re living apart pending a divorce, and the kids are miserable at his/her house. What should I do?
When a parent says that the kids dislike going to the other parent’s house, the schedule isn’t working, or that a child isn’t receiving good nutrition, the problem isn’t always removed by getting primary parental rights and responsibilities. We often find that the primary issue is conflict between the parents on matters that have little to do with their children and that in mediation the parties can resolve their problems. We have heard parties say that mediation is often more helpful than going to court.
